Does this count? E34 535i

[projektzwo]

yo timberlake... are you serious?

at which point you can say that your e34 is stanced, no matter what kind of stance? hah...

2 Girls 1 Cup is 'different from the norm' too.

"proper fitment" and "stretched tires" sounds like an oxymoron to me, but OK.

How did you even get here?

this isn't a forum about different shit, its about stance. Lately the content has been watered down thanks to posts like this. This forum is accepting to all types of cars in that its not brand specific, but the people who are here, are here to see cars with stance. You can dislike the color of my wheels, or my car, but its dumped on coils with proper fitment and stretched tires, exactly what this forum is about.

Quoted for truth.

OP- we are a welcoming and friendly bunch, but we are also a specific forum when it comes to content.. While I can appreciate the fact that you got a good deal on a E34 and had some old wheels sitting in a shed, that doesn't equate to a "stanced" car.

Check out the forums and look for some OG's builds on here and you will get a better idea of what we are about.

I personally do not have a problem with your car either.

I guess "stanceworks" really means "a specific stance, works" of which criteria my car does not fit, despite it having a far from stock stance...

My apologies for watering down your forum, I will go on my way.

awful is a pretty relative term, especially on a forum like this...

some people might think baby-blue centered wheels on a silver car is awful.

and besides the wheels were "free" (sitting in my shed for the past 9 years) and the car is a $700 beater.

I guess I was wrong in thinking that a "different from the norm" forum like this might sort of dig the weirdness... oh well.

moved this to the wheels forum since its not a build, finished car or intro.

[Justin517]

I don't get it, is this an intro thread? Or a build thread? or what? Why would you post this in the showroom section? Just sayin, it's obviously not a finished product, and you're asking for advice (never a bad thing) but this should probably be moved to a different section of the forum.

sorry, I'n new here (This is post#5 I think?) and you may be right... this might be in the wrong section. if so and a mod is reading this, feel free to move it.

It was sort of an intro and I had some questions.

[Justin517]

Not trying to come off as a dick or anything, but just because something is different and weird doesn't automatically make it cool. If it's out of the norm and looks good then you'll get props, but when it comes back to doing something different for the sake of doing something different, it usually doesn't end well.

You don't seem to have been paying attention. I know weird/different =/= cool.

What looks good is relative, what you think looks good I might ****, and vice-versa.

I didn't do it "to be different" I had the wheels laying around and figured I would give it a shot...

And like I said, it was mostly a bolt pattern test fit, I thought it looked kinda cool though. It obviously would look better with matching fronts, but the fronts I had on the monte were skinnier and smaller tires on 14x7s which I dont think will fit over the brakes...

oh, and as far as an opinion on those wheels, it could work, maybe some smaller sized tires, what size are the wheels anyways? They look a little small for a 5 series, could work, since you got them for free it wouldn't hurt to try I guess.

dude that is awful, why would you even post that here?

[Justin517]

well this was just a test fit, and the car is more or less a beater, if it blows up I wont really care all that much. I missed RWD and wanted tomsthing to mess with.

I thought I would **** the look of the wheels/tires but wanted to test fit to see how the GM pattern (4.75" or 120.64mm) would bolt up to the BMW pattern (120mm) and it actually woks out quite well despite not being "right"

I might say screw it and just get cragar Soft-8's in 17x9" amd 17x8"... that might be more your guys speed/style:

mehh ill state my opinion when i see all that stuff finished, and when all 4 wheels are matching.
sounds like youve got some big plans and a lot of work ahead of you, good luck with the build!
